Description
Group portrait of Fort 15 Company Commanders at Stalag XXa. Included in the photograph are Peter Terry (back row, second from right) and NX9669 Warrant Officer 2 K. L. Winton Healey (front row, second from right). This German prisoner of war (POW) and internment camp was in a series of semi underground forts built in the 1880s on the Vistula River. Prisoners included men of the 2/5th Australian General Hospital (AGH) who were captured in Greece after they were ordered to remain behind to treat wounded allied POWs following the evacuation.
